Hemlock Grove

[usc_yogi]

Anyone planning on checking this out on Netflix--it is their newest original series. The trailer for the series didn't seem too bad. Although I am not a horror fan, it is directed by Eli Roth so it might be decent. I have been pleased with the last two original series made by Netflix.

Plot line from wikipedia:
A young girl is brutally murdered and found near the former Godfrey steel mill. As rumors mount, two of the suspects in her killing, Peter Rumancek, a 17-year-old Gypsy trailer trash kid rumored to be a werewolf, and Roman, the heir to the Godfrey estate, decide to find the killer themselves.

I watched season 1 in its entirety this past weekend—honestly, off the strength of the other Netflix original series "House of Cards", which was freaking stupendous…But anyway, I found “Hemlock Grove” to be somewhat entertaining, even though at times I felt like the storyline was out there & quite frankly, kind of strange.
Would I watch Season 2?..mmmmm. I’m still on the fence about that. The cliff hanger at the conclusion of Season 1 is somewhat intriguing though.

I'll check it out at some time but right now there's too much baseball going on...maybe when the Orioles are on a west coast swing. House of Cards was excellent and Lilyhammer was good in a humorous way so I'll watch based on the strength of those two.

Loved House of Cards. Might give the 1st few episodes a shot and go from there.

I haven't yet but I will once I finish this last season of Prison Break.

I know it's not a Netflix original but has anyone watched the Sherlock episodes? Two seasons and only six episodes but each one is about 90 minutes. Feels like a move per episode. I think it's another great find on Netflix that I happened to stumble on a couple weeks ago.

Watched 1st 2 episodes. Benedict Cumberbatch kind of annoyed me. However I have enjoyed him in Starter for Ten and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Got more viewers than House of Cards did in its 1st weekend.

However, House of Cards was released on the same weekend as the Super Bowl. Plus there are so many fan-boys out there that I’m sure a werewolf TV show is a can’t miss prospect.

The first couple of minutes were pretty good. The rest was really bad. I usually give a series 3 episodes but I'm going to have to be pretty bored to watch episode 2.
